Senior Structural EngineerWakefield
An established and growing independent consultancy is looking to appoint a Senior Structural Engineer to strengthen its close‑knit structural team in Wakefield. With a strong reputation for delivering practical, buildable engineering solutions, the business operates across a broad mix of sectors including residential, commercial, industrial and community developments, supporting schemes from early concept through to completion.
The structural team plays a central role within the business, providing a full suite of engineering services across both new build and existing structures. Their work spans feasibility studies, structural assessments, detailed design and analysis, and supporting projects through all stages while maintaining a strong focus on quality, safety and buildability. It is a hands‑on team with a solid technical backbone, where engineers are actively involved in problem solving and delivery rather than being detached from the detail.
Responsibilities
- Design and assess structures across all primary materials including steel, reinforced concrete, timber and masonry.
- Take ownership of projects from initial concept through to completion, producing calculations, drawings and reports.
- Review the work of junior engineers and contribute to the continued growth of the team.
- Engage with clients, coordinate with architects and contractors, and participate in construction stages.
Qualifications
- Senior level UK Consultancy experience with a strong grounding in structural design.
- Ability to manage workload, confidently deal with clients and project teams, and seek professional progression such as chartership.
The Consultancy operates with a straightforward, down‑to‑earth culture. Engineers are trusted to get on with the job, supported when needed but without unnecessary layers of management. Decisions are made quickly, and there is genuine scope to influence both projects and the wider direction of the team as it continues to grow.
The Wakefield office is well located with good access to Leeds and the wider West Yorkshire region, making it an easy commute from a range of surrounding areas.
